Mark Fitzsimmons is from Sydney, Australia, and has been living with Type 1 Diabetes for the past 34 years. Mark has faced his share of ups and downs, including a battle with Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy in 2021 that almost cost him his sight. This experience profoundly changed his perspective on life and the way he manages his Diabetes. Mark advocates that focusing on his mental health is what allowed him to then improve his physical health and the way he manages his Diabetes. His journey inspired him to craft stories filled with resilience and hope that he wished he had during his childhood, and he has now published a children's book for children living with Type 1 Diabetes.
